JPost's Caroline Glick: Hatred of Jews Blocks Middle East Peace

Peace in the Middle East is impossible as long as the United States and other Western nations continue to recognize and work with countries that hate Jews, says Caroline Glick, senior contributing editor of The Jerusalem Post.

"The hatred of Judaism and Jewish people that is overwhelming in the Arab world and Islamic world — together with the sympathy and support that these views find among Western countries, whether it's the European Union or U.S. officials — [means] there's never going to be peace,'' Glick told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.

She said Wednesday that this week's rocket attacks by Hamas on key Israeli cites must be met swiftly.

"I think that what the goal has to be is to destroy as much as possible,'' said Glick, a former adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"[But] their ability to harm Israel, their aspiration to do so from a tactical and strategic perspective, is going to remain as long as the profound Jew hatred in the region and the sympathy for Jew hatred in the international community in the West remains as it is today.

"Unfortunately, this is the situation, and there are no good options for Israel except to continue pounding them at every opportunity and deny them the ability to conduct the kind of attacks that they have been doing.''
